The effects of visual stimulation on the cortical activity of brainstem stroke dysphagia patients: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study
Patients with brainstem stroke dysphagia showed reduced activity during visual stimulation in the Frontopolar region, the left Orbitofrontal area, and the left Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as compared to healthy individuals. The overall strength of functional connections was decreased, while the ROI between different brain areas increased. Following a brain stem stroke, all of these might be related to pre-oral swallowing issues.
